Releasing a Job

There are two ways to release a job:

• You can release a job by updating the Status field on the firm job order to Released.

  If no operations exist for this job when you save the job, you see the message, "Copy Current BOM will be performed." Click OK to copy the routing from the item current routing or the co-product mix routing to the displayed job. After you run MRP Planning, APS Planning, or click the Get ATP/CTP button on the job, the plan will be based on the newly created job routing/BOM (until you run one of these planning activities, the plan is based on the current routing/BOM).

  Note:  This method of copying the routing/BOM does not create any jobs for subassemblies within the BOM. To create these sub-jobs automatically during the copy routing/BOM process, you must use the Copy Routing/BOM form and select the Copy Indented BOM field.
• You can also release a job using the Job Status Change/Delete utility. This utility can also delete History Jobs.

  Enter the appropriate status in the From Job Status and To Job Status fields, which are required.
